I just noticed that on IE 7, in "standards" mode, setting width, height, 
or maximum or minimum width for a paragraph makes it behave differently, 
when there is floated content aside of it. For a simple demo, check
http://www.cs.tut.fi/~jkorpela/test/float.html

When I have a left-floated image and a paragraph, then a padding-left for 
the paragraph is ignored (as long as the paragraph flows on the right of 
the image), i.e. the text touches the image. As far I have understood, 
this is correct by the specs.

But when I set e.g. max-width for the paragraph, IE 7 magically starts 
applying the left margin.

The most puzzling feature is that this does not happen in "quirks" mode, 
e.g. if I remove the doctype declaration. Neither does it happen on 
Firefox 2 (in either mode).

Is this a bug in IE 7, or in my mind?
